Veloxity CRM is the Best Value of the Salesforce® CRM Competitors
Salesforce defined the web-based CRM space and has been very successful, so why look at CRM competitors?
Salesforce has done a good job of creating a CRM solution for the web dating back to circa 2000. They were smart in making their solution an extendible platform so that their system could be customized and extended to support many business functions.
Despite the strength of their marketing and first-mover advantage, other solutions such as Microsoft Dynamics have had success on the CRM platform front. On the general CRM front, other Salesforce CRM competitors like Pipedrive, Zoho, and Hubspot have also had success despite not being true platforms or early entrants. So why is that? The reason is that there has been room for improvements in ease of use, cost, and features versus Salesforce and these other solutions have leveraged one or more of these areas to gain market share. Of these alternative CRM’s, few are extendible platforms that can grow with your business as platforms are much harder to create than a purpose-built CRM alternative, which most CRM’s are.
Veloxity CRM, on the other hand, has built its platform over 15 years and has deployed it in some of the most demanding environments in the world. We have also created groundbreaking ease of use CRM features that don’t exist in other CRM’s, all while offering a CRM alternative at much lower pricing than comparable solutions. This means you can get a Salesforce CRM competitive solution with comparable features, better ease of use, and configuration at a much lower cost. To illustrate this fact, below we provide a feature comparison chart showing what we see as the key functions of the Salesforce Unlimited Edition versus Veloxity’s CRM solution and provide a cost savings calculator so you can easily see how much you will save using our CRM system for your business team versus Salesforce CRM.
